The (Second) Dime Box Frankenset, Page 60: Numbers 532-540


Frankenset Page #35 WINNER -- 1995 Upper Deck #312 Steve Buechele (15 votes)

Well that was a rout.

Steve Buechele & Son massacred the competition last week, taking 15 of the 31 total tallies to cruise to an easy frankenset win. No other nominee received more than three votes -- I don't know whether it was the Buechele being a great card or nothing else on the page standing out much (perhaps a little of both), but the competition ended up being a laugher on all fronts.

Welcome to the gallery, Buechele family.




I have a feeling we might be in for another blowout this week, but I've certainly been wrong before.

As per the almighty Random Number Generator, we'll be looking at Page 60 (#s 532-540) in the frankenset here tonight -- let's meet the hopefuls.



2017 Topps #532 Eduardo Nunez

Diving at Dodger Stadium. 



1975 Topps #533 Rudy Meoli

To the heavens. 



1988 Topps #534 John Wathan

Kind of an oddity, in that you don't often see managers wearing batting helmets. 



1985 Fleer #535 Tom Foley

Double dip! 



1993 Upper Deck #536 Kevin Young

Scampering in the mud. 



1992 Score #537 Andy Allanson

I just love how the baseball's floating on the Score logo. 



2014 Topps #538 Jon Jay

Primetime high-five.



1996 Collector's Choice #539 Steve Reed

The sidewinder sleeps tonite. 



2013 Topps #540 Michael Bourn

I like when cards honoring fielding feats actually, you know, show the dude fielding.

That's it for this week's page. The polls are now on the sidebar.

Happy voting!

I dunno which one you think will win by a distance this week..but manager in a helmet?..yes!!

Your R.E.M. reference,while cool,did not sway my vote!

Lots of great action on this page. I'm gonna go with the one featuring Templeton repping my favorite Padres jersey of all-time.

That Allison card has an almost "breaking the forth wall" feel to it...
